a flask bloging platform. Listen to an imap folder and then post the messages as blog posts.
I am interested in making blogging fast and easy by using email as the writing interface. Eventually I will use this platform to test out AI powered UI experiments.
This was born out of a desire to start building my own datasets. I want to be able to create content from my phone and have it seamlessly be formatted for use to program a Nueral network at a later date. I am using an iphone and am not at the point where I can devote time or money to developng on the apple app market. Using what I have available and veing resourceful is one of my defining abilities. Why build a mobile app when I have email?
I also need a blog for self promotion and to coordinate my online presence.
One half of this app works in the background to help me collect several datapoints every day. The other half enables me to effortlessly update a blog.
I also built an API and webapp with almost identicle features, but email is just faster and easier for data collection on the go...
